Cholecystitis and cholelithiasis are two different conditions that can affect the gallbladder. Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder, while cholelithiasis refers to the presence of gallstones within the gallbladder or bile ducts.
Cholecystitis is often caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, which leads to a buildup of bile and inflammation of the gallbladder. Cholelithiasis, on the other hand, refers to the presence of gallstones, which are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in the gallbladder.
The two conditions can be differentiated through diagnostic tests such as blood tests, imaging tests, and others. A healthcare provider can help determine the appropriate course of action for diagnosis and treatment.
